China Daily  

After multiple world championships, China claimed its first-ever Olympic gold medal in artistic swimming at Paris 2024, after dominating the team acrobatic event on Wednesday. REUTERS/AFP/WEI XIAOHAO/CHINA DAILY The Paris Olympics saw new rules introduced for the artistic swimming team event, which now includes a technical routine, a free routine and an acrobatic routine, each of which is scored separately. In February, the team delivered its best-ever performance at the World Championships in Doha, securing seven gold medals, one silver and a bronze — a massive confidence boost ahead of Paris. On Aug 7, the team delivered a nearly flawless performance in its final routine, once again earning the highest score and setting a new benchmark in Chinese artistic swimming.
